1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard near the palace of Achab king of Samaria.
Oasr ima in grape se lun mwet se pangpang Naboth, oan apkuran nu ke inkul fulat sel Tokosra Ahab in acn Jezreel.
2 And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house, and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Sie len ah Ahab el fahk nu sel Naboth, “Use luk ima in grape se lom an. Ke oan apkuran nu ke lohm sik uh, nga lungse orekmakin nu ke ima in mahsrik. Nga ac sot sie ima in grape ma wo liki, ku kom fin lungse nga in molela, na nga ac sot sie moul fal nu kac.”
3 Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
Naboth el fahk, “Ima in grape se inge usru se luk sin mwet matu luk ah. LEUM GOD El tia ku in lela ngan sot lom.”
4 And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth the Jezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread.
Tokosra Ahab el som nu lohm sel, ac el kasrkusrak ac arulana supwar ke ma Naboth el fahk nu sel. El ona fin mwe oan kial, ac forang nu pesinka ac tiana mongo.
5 And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?
Jezebel, mutan kial, el som nu yorol ac siyuk sel, “Mea aktoasrye kom an? Efu ku kom tia mongo?”
6 And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard.
Ac Ahab el fahk, “Nga toasrkin kas ma Naboth el fahk nu sik ah. Nga oru ngan molela ima in grape se lal, ku fin wo sel nga in sang sie pac ima in grape aolla ima lal ah, tuh pa el fahk mu nga tia ku in eis ima se lal.”
7 Then Jezabel his wife said to him: Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer, I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
Jezebel el fahk, “Na mea, tia tokosra se pa kom? Tukakek, mongoi ac enganak. Nga ac eisla ima in grape se lal Naboth ac sot lom!”
8 So she wrote letter’s in Achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
Na Jezebel el simusla kutu leta, ac sainiya inel Ahab kac, siliya ke sil lal ah, ac supwalik nu sin mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel.
9 And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people,
Leta ingan fahk ouinge: “Sulkakinelik sie len in lalo ac pangoneni mwet uh, na sang Naboth elan muta ke acn in muta fulat.
10 And suborn two men, sons of Belial against him, and let them bear false witness: that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die.
Sokak luo mwet koluk elah an in orek loh kikiap lainul ye mutal ac fahk mu el selngawi God oayapa tokosra. Na kowos usalla nu likin siti uh, ac tanglal nwe ke el misa.”
11 And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them:
Mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel elos orala ma Jezebel el sapkin.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth sit among the chief of the people.
Elos fahkelik len in lalo sac, ac pangoneni mwet uh, ac sang nien muta fulat sac nu sel Naboth.
13 And bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people, saying: Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king: wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death.
Mwet koluk elah luo ah kikiap ac fahk ye mutun mwet uh mu Naboth el selngawi God ac tokosra. Ouinge utukla el nu likin siti uh, ac tatngal el nwe ke na el misa.
14 And they sent to Jezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Na kas kacl supweyukla nu sel Jezebel fahk mu, “Naboth el anwuki tari.”
15 And it came to pass when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Ke na pacl se kas inge sonol Jezebel, el fahk nu sel Ahab, “Naboth el misa. Fahla eis lom ima in grape se ma el tuh srunga kom in molela.”
16 And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it.
In pacl sac na Ahab el som nu ke ima sac, in eisla lal.
17 And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu Tishbe,
18 Arise, and go down to meet Achab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it:
“Fahla nu yorol Ahab, tokosra Samaria. Kom ac konalak in ima in grape lal Naboth, su el akola in sruokya lal.
19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain, moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also.
Fahk nu sel lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk ouinge, ‘Ya tukun kom akmuseya mwet sac tari an, kom ac eisla pac acn sel an?’ Fahkang nu sel lah nga fahk ouinge: ‘In acn se na ma kosro ngalngul uh lohi srah kacl Naboth we, elos ac lohela pac srah keim uh we!’”
20 And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee, because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
Ke Ahab el liyalak Elijah, el fahk, “Mwet lokoalok luk, ya kom sifilpa koneyuyak?” Elijah el topuk, “Aok, nga konekomyak. Ke sripen kom sang nufon kuiyom in oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD,
21 Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel.
ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum, ‘Nga ac fah sot mwe ongoiya lulap nu fom. Nga ac kunauskomla ac onela mukul nukewa in sou lom, mwet fusr ac mwet matu oana sie.
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what thou hast done, to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin.
Sou lom ac fah oana sou lal Tokosra Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, ac oapana sou lal Tokosra Baasha, wen natul Ahijah, mweyen kom akkasrkusrakyeyu ke kom kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.’
23 And of Jezabel also the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel.
A funu kacl Jezebel, LEUM GOD El fahk mu kosro ngalngul ac fah kangla manol in siti Jezreel.
24 If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.
Kutena mwet in sou lom su misa in siti uh, ac fah mongola sin kosro ngalngul, ac kutena su misa likin siti uh, ac fah mongola sin won vulture.” (
25 Now there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife Jezabel set him on,
Wangin sie mwet su sang insial nufon in oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD oana Ahab, ac el oru ouinge ke sripen Jezebel, mutan kial ah, el akkeye ma el oru.
26 And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
El tuh oru mwe mwekin na yohk ke el alu nu ke ma sruloala, oana ma mwet Amor elos oru, aok elos su LEUM GOD El lusla liki facl sac ke mwet Israel elos utyak nu we.)
27 And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.
Ke Elijah el kaskas tari, Ahab el salik nuknuk lal ac sarukla, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa se. El srangesr mongo, ac el motul ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac ke el forfor el asor ac toasr.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu,
29 Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
“Ku kom tuni ac liye ke Ahab el arulana sisilya ye mutuk uh? Ke el oru ouinge uh, nga ac tila sang ongoiya nu sel ke pacl el moul. Ongoiya ac fah tuku nu fin sou lal Ahab ke pacl lun wen natul.”
